Bob has $2.90 in pennies, nickels, and dimes. He has the same number of pennies and nickels. If the number of dimes is 5 more than the number of nickels, how many of each type coin does he have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let x=no. of pennies and nickels x+5 = no. of dimes .01x+.05x+.10(x+5)=2.90 .06x+.10x+.50=2.90 .16x=2.90-.50=2.40 .16x=2.40 x=2.40/.16=15 =>15 pennies =>15 nickels =>20 dimes
